Since I started posting here, subconsciously I've been associating people with a certain avatar they had for a while, or for some reason got stuck in my head (whether you have it now, have had it for a while, or have never changed it)
I don't have the pics now, but I can at least describe them, which I think from there, you'll be able to know what I'm talking about...
Gold Trumpet - the Throne of Blood cover
Jeremy Blackman - the shadow of Adam Sandler running in PDL
Regular Karate - Big Lebowski Region 2 cover
Pubrick - The moving bee
cbrad - the kid from Sigur Ros' ( ) album
Cinephile - Mr. T
Stefen - The Ant
GDIDM - Kurt Russell
ono - the Critic
Withnail - Simon and Garfunkel
Gamblor - the tree in the Ring
Pas Rapport - in the spaghetti
sonowthen - Mean Streets
modernage02 - the Kill Bill collage
Macguffin - Falling Down (although I did particularly like your Se7en series)
NEON MERCURY - Mulholland Drive
Sleuth - Rorshack
Pedro - the llama
Those are the ones that come to mind... anyone else associate people with their avatars?
Quote from: Walrusanyone else associate people with their avatars?
yes. and its weird, before i knew what sorts of personalities most regular posters were i would feel differently about them when 'speaking' to them based on what avatar they had. like, if i thought someone was being a jerk and they had a snobby avatar, i'd be like 'pfft. what a jerk'. but if they had like a hot chick avatar i'd be all like '....they're not all bad. maybe they have a point.'

good times...
hmm.....
Quote from: WalrusGold Trumpet - either the shadow of Adam Sandler running in PDL or the Throne of Blood cover
I never had that Sandler one.
GT with throne of blood.
And basically everyone who got their avatar dissected by sickfins, i associate them with that one. Classic thread that was.
thats why I like to change mine from time to time...
right now it's David Brent themed, before that it was Prince, before that it was Leone.
i associate the gold trumpet, socketlevel, and two lane blacktop with being confused bythe signature setting.
I like kurt russel...
I like him alot...
I wish I could touch him...

Shit, I meant Jeremy Blackman, sorry... it wasn't that I group you two together, I was just typing a bunch of names.
Quote from: 03i associate the gold trumpet, socketlevel, and two lane blacktop with being confused bythe signature setting.
I am confused... to the point of not understanding what you mean. explain.
Quote from: God Damn Im Da ManI like kurt russel...

yo it true, robert towne once said that kurt russell is hollywood's best kept secret. i couldn't agree more.
it's funny because that pic you have of him is perfect for a tag. up here in toronto there is this graffiti artist/tagger that plasters up cut out pictures of val kilmer. they're everywhere and they look fucking wicked awesome, it's been on the news and in the local papers.
you should start doing that wherever you live with that pic of Kurt, it has a similar vibe to the pic of val. big trouble styles.

Alison didn't last very long on your avatar runway either. Girl can't catch a break.
polka, you are out. Auf Wiedersehen. Please leave the runway.

Don't get me wrong, Allison is definitely high on the list of my one true loves. But the animated one gave Lucid a headache:

Yeah, I think that's it. The little bit of her music that I've heard could curdle cheese, but she's certainly one of the prettier people who has ever lived.
i associate pas rap with blowjobs.
I wish my gf would too. :doh:
Who needs a girlfriend when you got polka?
Kurt Russel...how I love thee,
You've been super hero
You've sold used cars
You've had big trouble in little places
I STILL wish I could touch you.
Hey man, that's beautiful. You should put that right here:

New site means new avatar for me, I'll miss Kubrick face though.
This gem is my original EWS stub back in 1999, july 17th to be precise, what a great day that was, I proudly keep it on my wallet.
i don't think anyone's ever done that before. kudos on originality, and pure awesomeness of subject.

and holy crap dude, i just realised who this
goddess girl is. i'm finishing that season now. she deserved another chance.. it's not her fault everything she made paled in comparison to her own blonde-youngbjork flawlessness. ironically in old icelandic times she would be called Alison the Fair. don't tell me who won.
props on your avatar, P. i've been meaning to say that.
thanks. it's the very last shot. :yabbse-cheesy:

I whipped this up in Photoshop the other day, and now it's my current Myspace profile pic. It doesn't necessarily belong in this thread, since I have no intention of using it as my avatar here, but I think it's cool and I want to show it off, and this is close enough.

haha, i'm flattered. as long as it doesn't start a trend of cheap knock-off beekaboos. and you do realise you now owe me royalties.
thats what happens when you cant sleep at 5am :)
i suck with these programs so there was no way for me to have the been appear and disappear... it was the best i could do.
i was always wondering, what does the bee mean and why do you always have it?
meester fly from the bjork website!
Warning: This post is long and it will take time to upload, but it's worth it I think. :yabbse-undecided:
I've been planing to post this for a looong time, even years ago and always postponed it, but now inspired by the 'this place is dead' thread I decided to just do it, guess I was always looking for the right time to do it and never felt like it was.
I want this to have the feel of the old and now disappeared Blast from the Past thread, hope it brings good memories.
Also wanted the post to keep it shorter, and actually did keep it short! just bear in mind I chose these out of over 1500 avatars I've saved through all these years, yes I've saved almost every avatar that users have had, at least from the regulars, if somebody is not represented right now it's because I couldn't find a place for it.
I can't put the name of the xixaxer exactly below the avatars without making a mess so below the rows I'll write the name of the xaxers from left to right so you know who had it at that time.
Hope you like this, enjoy!
gals and guy

Same as today I guess
haha. wow. this pretty much seals the deal...we're all nuts.
holy crap. thanks. my brain just timewarped a lot. do you have the one i used to have of the shoes looking down from high above? i miss it/don't know how to find it.
excellent stuff, fernando! i remember the pigeon av now and it was something i stole from some forum. it's funny though.

I have this one but I have a feeling it isn't the one you say, if that avatar is recent maybe I don't have it because for over a year haven't been able to save the avatars, for some odd reason I can't save them as gif, jpeg, png or whatever, even stopped trying to save them. :yabbse-undecided:
Oddly enough the first one that came to my mind was this one.

was it this, or like this : http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/8_1_2_fellini.jpg
i missed these replies. it was like that, gas. thanks for the xmas fernando.
Anybody else keep looking over to see who this new member is, and realizing it's GT with a new avatar?
And now that old avatar is gone for good because a day after I made the switch, my laptop crashed and all my files went along with it. The change is good because there is no reason to continue associating myself with a film I only somewhat like. The effect of having it was wearing on me.
Ha, today I started reading a post without checking the user name. I assumed it was someone new to forum, but as I read I found myself thinking, man, this guy sounds exactly like GT. It was!
Its a good av, GT.
now that cronopio's alive intermittently, maybe he can help me, or fernando if he knows..
one of crono's old avs was some kind of painting of a giant minotaur beast towering over a village.. can anyone tell me where that was from, who did it, anything? searches turn up nothing.. if it's a throwaway picture by a nobody that's cool too, i just would like to know.
i've been haunted by it all these years, in my memory it has come to represent an immensely creepy image. always when i see a mountain ridge in the distance, and i do often as my city is borded by a mountain range, i imagine this creature standing from the other side, looking so FIERCE. it really fascinates me.. i respond viscerally to the idea of it.
Was it this?

"The Colossus" by Fransisco Goya (actually not, as the museum it resides at recently declared that it was actually the work of one of Goya's assistants. http://www.vincesear.com/famous-goya-painting-found-to-be-unauthentic/ (http://www.vincesear.com/famous-goya-painting-found-to-be-unauthentic/))
haha yes, thanks! fuck i knew it was goya. i'm such a noob.. i went to bed thinking i would do a search for his name first thing in the morning.
well, not goya. but still that assistant is a mad cunt.
does that image freak anyone else out? i think the idea i remembered is even cooler than that cos it was a fucked up beast with its back to us but its head slightly turned. i dunno. my reaction to that picture is comparable to what the old couple feel when viewing The Kramer.
just for the record, I do have archived cron's avatar but honestly I didn't remember it.
and I don't care who painted that, it's a really powerful painting.
fuck, i had not read this. yep, it's the collosus alright, and i had the chance to see it live in a goya retrospective in mexico city about four years ago.
i'm now very comfortable with my current hipster blue boy avatar.
I feel it is time to get rid of this avatar. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? or any throwbacks that i can rock?
anyone wanna make my next avatar?

avatar of life is the way to go....
but i cant do shit, but you guys should, don't know if you can dl the gifs of the new tree of life site, if you can then do something with those awesome clips.
P, do you have some sort of template for the bee, like a gif file that's just it by itself? I've got a couple ideas...

Hahaha that is by far P's best. Great work Polka. I think Aronofsky agrees.
I love how stoned it looks from beeing down there.
polky you da man!
i couldn't have made this.. so smooth and hypnotic.
brilliant.. i wonder what your other ideas were/are..
Glad you like it. :yabbse-thumbup: If I have free time this week I'll try and make one or two more.
f-in hilarious. polkablues rules. cant wait for The P of Life though.
Truly a work of art. :bravo:

This ended up being about 3 megs; I don't remember what the size limit for an avatar is, so I'm not sure if it'll work or not.
EDIT: Ensmallened.
You have to reduce size because this will be the avatar to end all avatars
Where you at, P? I know we all dream of living in Jennifer Lawrence's cleavage, but Animavatar of Life, people!
There you go!
This av is both hilarious and poignant. It catches the young bee in a moment of play that is transitory in experience but everlasting in the form of nostalgic memory.. the children and the bee together perform what could only be described as a time tripping rain dance. The short loop of the kids doubles within the longer loop of the bee which results in a dissolution of standard gif loop structure that is both refreshing and thought provoking.
still.. it's no boobies.
like the new av, JB. It's nice to see you getting back to your roots.
Thanks.
yeah, that kid must be 40 by now.
i wonder if he ever googles himself and finds the only results direct him to your postings and he's all like "i don't remember saying that.. oh well back to alcoholism!"
lol.. did he ever work again? seemed promising..
edit: he's had four jobs since Magnolia , two of them were on Law & Order. Here's a picture of him:
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.broadwayworld.com%2Fupload%2F11447%2Fblood13.jpg&hash=9553f9e463bd247b45bcdfef0a720358534e5ca4)
he's on the left
a friend of mine went to columbia with him. apparently he was a literature major, did a lot of acid, and didn't like to talk about magnolia.
That rules! He probably always pissed himself when he drank so he turned to acid to avoid the obvious parallels. Imagine seeing him in the library by himself, surrounded by books.. He's never gonna live that movie down.
I decided I wanted to change my avatar and for some reason the first thing I thought of was Hot To Trot (Bobcat Goldthwait talking horse movie,) so I did a Google Image search and
<-----------------that came up! Best part is the site linking to it was www.feelmybicep.com
That's all I got.
Why do users go hidden? Right now it`s me and 4 hidden users. Sucks.
5 hidden now. Secrets don`t make friends.
6 wtf. Loneliness in a crowd is the worst.
Why do users post three times in a row within a few minutes instead of just editing their original post?
For effect. Why are you hidden?
EDIT: And why not be polite and answer the q in your post? Some kind of hobbyist asshole?

I mainly stay hidden because I spend too much time scrolling around the internet for different reasons and don't want to broadcast my back-and-forth too much with this website. There are a few recreational websites I just revisit often out of boredom.

I actually came back to delete the hobbyist part because I thought it was too passive aggressive so thanks for taking it lightly.
Kellen, your new avatar is quite disturbing. It ruins the original poster for me.
I like that Reelist's avatar is from the marquee. It's the avatar equivalent of wearing stuff from the Salvation Army.

Or wearing the jacket and tie that the restaurant provides.
Also, where is it from?
It looks like something out of a Matthew Barney film.
It's Blade Runner innit?
Yep. Creepy fucking Daryl Hannah.
I tried for so long to get this av, but I couldn't find the right size so I put a crappy photocopy version up and Pas bashed me for it, so once I saw the screenshot up there I had to take the oppurtunity to get it. Blade Runner is great, but I'm not even sure what's happening here. I don't remember it from the movie, but I know its at the end.
Kellen, is that Rivers Cuomo?
Quote from: Reelist on June 28, 2011, 05:32:58 PMKellen, is that Rivers Cuomo?
It's Nicolas Winding Refn, director of the Pusher trilogy, Bronson and the upcoming xixax most anticipated fave, Drive.
JB, are you ok? You need a bathroom break?
Waiting until the next commercial break...

Thanks. I used the Camera+ (thanks to them!) app on my iPhone to alter it to create these wonderful colors.
Thanks, I've been pondering late nights over that. Now I have an excuse to tell my boss why I'm so tired at work.
Since immaturity fits you so well, I would say it's perfect!
yours is good. Home Alone is one of my favorite movies, but it's severely lacking in the boob department. Actually if you squint your eyes it looks like she has Orangutan titties :yabbse-thumbup:

Polka's personal text > Reelist's av
I didn't know the two were in direct competition, but I'm very happy to have won.
Polka's personal text makes me sick to my stomach. A stew? I'm thinking like Dinty Moore..YUCK.
For Reelist:

Incredible, I feel like a real member now. Not lettin' that one go..What an inspirational image for me to look to while I'm slinging shit on the internet. Maybe it will help me focus on my goals more. Thank you Polka, from the bottom of my heart.
I am crying right now. this is so beautiful.

Now it looks like he's protecting himself from the rain dripping down from Polka's av.
But if you scroll up a little, that rain is falling on Alizee from Neil's av. RAINVATARCEPTION.
gifs as avatars seem dazzling. hot tip for interested parties: through google i know there's this
http://mubi.com/topics/movie-related-gifs-threador-whatever-gifs-you-want
and there are examples of dazzlers. also, tumblr dazzles. you can find a dazzler. and then the hottest tip of all is polkablues makes that for you when you ask, which i think is really sweet. i like my gas station, and i like dazzlers
why can't I change this to my avatar?

Too large. It needs to be 250 pixels max. The built-in resizer can resize static images, but not animated gifs.

I've had the same av for 3 years, and I really love it, but I think it's time for a change. Big ups to polka for creating it. It's been so long since I chose a new one that I forgot how to make a gif into your avatar. Can I get some help with this one?

It has to be below certain dimensions and under a certain filesize, but I don't know offhand what those certains are.
Give this version a try. I'm pretty sure it will work.
